4. OGC ® INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe (INSPIRE) Laid down in INSPIRE Directive (accepted by EC May 2007), in Implementing Rules, (many !) guideline documents … Aim: “establishing an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe to support Community environmental policies, and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment”  enable exchange of spatial information between the member states to support environmental policies Keywords: Harmonization, Metadata, Services, Infrastructure … This leads to Interoperability, standards (and OGC !) INSPIRE Overview

5. OGC ® INSPIRE data specification What data ? A Drafting Team (DT) has provided a high level definition of data themes, laid down in 3 annexes : Annexe I and II : “Basic” geographic data CRS, Grid Systems, Addresses, Cadastral Parcels, Hydrography … Elevation, Orthoimagery, Geology.. Annexe III : Themes directly linked to DWG Met-Ocean concerns Human Health and Safety (Air quality (O 3, NO 2, SO 2, UV, aerosols)). Natural Risk Zones Atmospheric conditions (Precipitation, wind, clouds, lightning, temperature, UV) Meteorological geographical features (Synoptic observations, clouds, precipitation.) Oceanographic geographical features Sea Region (Sea water temperature, sea level)

6. OGC ® Main INSPIRE milestones December 2013: Metadata available for spatial data corresponding to Annex III January 2015: Newly collected and extensively restructured Annex II and III spatial data sets available. May 2019: Other Annex II and III spatial data sets available.

12. OGC ® III-13 Atmospheric Conditions: –Physical conditions in the atmosphere. Includes spatial data based on measurements, on models or on a combination thereof and includes measurements locations III-14 Meteorological Geographical Features: –Weather conditions and their measurements: precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration, wind speed and direction !!! What is the difference between III-13 and III-14? Distinction is not so clear & scope potentially very large TWG - AC+MF from the directive

13. OGC ® The scope No guidance available on the range of information to be covered by AC + MF: –Inclusion of forecast data? –Precise list of parameters? –Spatial and temporal resolution? –Vertical dimension? –Etc. Detailed review of available documents yields no a priori reason to exclude any type of meteorological information => critical question: feasibility and affordability. List of mandatory parameters for the initial implementation: basic meteorological parameters required for the reference use case

14. OGC ® TWG - AC+MF approach Develop Use Cases and use them to focus on which data are really needed –Treat AC & MF as single theme for initial development of data specification Ensure coherence with other, highly significant, development work underway: –Data and services specification in OGC MetOcean Domain Working Group –New WMO Information System both aiming at interoperability of meteorological information

15. OGC ® Finding best locations for new wind farms Climate Impacts Flash flood forecasting Use of meteorology in support of emergency response Flood forecasting Climate assessment (with past & predicted data) High Level Plume prediction in support of emergency response Short & medium range flood forecasting Detailed Use Cases

17. OGC ® 17 The model Four leaf packages:  AtmosphericCondition  AtmosphericConditionProcess  ObservableProperty  CSML v3 "Climate Science Modelling Language", a standards-based data model and GML application schema for atmospheric and oceanographic data developed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK) with dependencies on packages from the INSPIRE Generic Conceptual Model and geographic information International Standards (ISO 191xx series), in particular ISO 19156 (O&M 2.0).

18. OGC ® 18 The model Package Structure & Dependencies O&M METADATA

19. OGC ® 19 The model ISO 19156 (Observations and Measurements) the AC-MF conceptual schema is rooted on the common base conceptual model of Observation and Measurements (O&M) defined in ISO 19156:2011 which introduces the concepts of observation and spatial sampling feature. Observation: is an act that results in the estimation of the value of a feature property of a feature of interest using a designated procedure. Spatial sampling feature: the applied sampling regime required where exhaustive observation of environmental parameters is not possible – for example, there is no observation that can provide air temperature values of the whole atmosphere above London.

20. OGC ® 20 The model ISO 19156 (The concept of Observation )

21. OGC ® 21 The model-ISO 19156 (Spatial Sampling Feature ) Example illustrating the of concepts: sampling coverage observation, sampling feature and sampled feature. Measurements of air temperature (observed property) at a specific location (a point spatial sampling feature) of the atmosphere above Chilbolton Observatory, UK (sampled feature).

22. OGC ® 22 Central place given to “Atmospheric Condition”: aggregation of one or more instances of OM_Observation Examples of such aggregation: –an entire result set (all parameters, all times, all levels) of a single model run –all observations collected from a single ground observation station within one collecting period (1 minute - 1 day) –all observations collected from all available ground observation stations within one collecting period (last 3-6h) –all possible weather information available for a given region over a given time period –all air traffic related meteorological information considering two given airports and the airspace between –any distinct data set containing meteorologically interesting data The model Ac:Atmospheric Condition

23. OGC ® 23 The model Ac:Atmospheric Condition O&M aggregate

24. OGC ® 24 The list of parameters to be included in an Atmospheric Condition instance shall be extracted from the “ObservablePropertyValue” code list, depending on the need of the application for which the data is produced. If the codelist ObservablePropertyValue is not sufficient to describe an observedProperty, e.g. daily maximum temperature, further detail shall be provided by the attribute SimpleObservableProperty.constraint The model Ac:ObservableProperty / Parameters

25. OGC ® 25 The model Ac:ObservableProperty To be reviewed after SWE progress

26. OGC ® 26 The Directive states that atmospheric data can originate from measurements, models, or post-processed information combining measurement and model output. AtmosphericConditionProcess shall provide information regarding the procedure used to generate the result for each observation member of AtmosphericCondition. This set of information consists of the following information pieces: identification, type and further documentation of the applied procedure; individual(s) and/or organisation(s) related to the procedure; names of parameters controlling the procedure’s output. The model Ac:Atmospheric Condition Process

27. OGC ® 27 The model Ac:Atmospheric Condition Process

28. OGC ® 28 The model CSML V3 AC-MF model adopts the CSML observation types - specialisations of sampling coverage observation - each corresponding to a particular spatiotemporal sampling geometry and related coverage result [OGC pending document 11-021]. CSML will be external to AC-MF model in the future versions.

31. OGC ® Phenomenon model The phenomenon model was removed from SWE Common 2.0 Ongoing work on a new phenomenon model (Dominic Lowe) The new phenomenon model will handle « composites » and « complex » observed properties The INSPIRE phenomenon model will probably have to be harmonized accordingly WMS layers are based on Observed Properties The Observed Property is also a crucial discriminator for data discovery

32. OGC ® CSML dependencies CSML types are embedded in the AC-MF model, but CSML will have to be external to AC-MF (and available somewhere in the foundation Inspire schemas) CSML observation types (i.e ProfileObservation ) directly extent OM_Observation, because DiscreteCoverage and SamplingCoverageObservation are only « informal » in O&M 2.0 Maybe, it would be useful to define elementary and generic enough domain feature types and sampling feature types in our model Define schematron rules to set additional constraints related to missing types ( SamplingCoverageObservation, …)
